Exciting news!!!

Just went to my dermatologist yesterday and have been using Cosentyx since May 7th....she told the nurse that my psoriasis is at 0% coverage.....and it's true! She gave my scalp a thorough check (that's my most stubborn place for psoriasis) and checked me all over and I'm clear. So happy! THEN she said something I didn't think I would ever hear, "If you are still clear at your next 6 month appointment, I will only need to see you once a year." What?! Only once a year?! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She also recommended that I talk with my rheumatologist to see about cutting back on methotrexate - psoriatic arthritis has been a little slower to respond to Cosentyx than my skin. Can you believe that though? 0% coverage on my skin. I am so happy with my results. Slight stomach issues have not been too bad and have been the only side effect I've experienced. Definitely manageable. I want this to encourage others. Stick with it, there is a treatment out there that will help. It might not be Cosentyx, but keep working with your doctors and experimenting with your diet (I've read that really has helped some people - I didn't find any difference when I cut out certain foods for months, but everyone is different). What doesn't work for one - may work for another. Now, if I could just find a way to stay asleep all night....hmmmm. I know I'm going to have to get some caffeine this afternoon around 2 or 3pm just to help me stay awake. 

Today is a good day for a good day!

That's really good congratulations .
The progress that the treatment of P and PsA that has been made in the last 10 years or even less is fantastic ,I believe that within the next decade there is a extremely good chance that it may be beaten completely.

Wooohooo that is great news, in 3 months it's had such a great effect on your psoriasis ...Long may it continue to keep you clear
It's always good to hear a success story and although we know Cosentyx has been successful since its launch, its great to hear the storiies from the sufferer

I hope you will continue to update so others can benefit from your experience

Good luck I'm off to the bar to drink to your continued good health

That's great news.  

Yes I would stop the methotrexate and give it a try. Cosentyx has been the best thing ever for me in regard to psoriatic arthritis

You may want to change your treatment in your Bio by the way "Stelara, Methotrexate, Clobetasol"  

Good luck and long may it continue.

excellent! long may you enjoy your clearance =]
 
( note; it still says Stelara, Methotrexate, Clobetasol as treatment in your profile )

Fantastic result. Speedy as well. As for not being able to sleep, I would not be drinking coffee, especially in the afternoon.

Cheers
